Patient Case Scenario Part 1
CC/HPI: LT is a 66 yo female who presents to the emergency room with a broken hip from a fall. After a total hip replacement (THR), she stays in the hospital for 2 days. On day 3, she is discharged home and her nurse provides her with the prescriptions listed below and an order for home physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT). Her nurse offers LT and her spouse the opportunity to ask any questions but they stated they had none.
LT and her spouse picked up the prescriptions from the pharmacy on the way home. They declined counseling from the pharmacist when offered. A follow-up appointment with her orthopedic surgeon/orthopedic physician assistant (PA) was scheduled for 4 weeks. PT and OT home care services were initiated the next day.

Patient Case Scenario Part 4

In the waiting room, LT is now unarousable.
